General Discussion / Images for school project
« on: December 15, 2012, 12:31:56 PM »
For a school project I have to depict something creative, so my first thought was to turn to Blockland, the most creative place I know.
Now the 'problem' is that I need +20 photos or screenshots depicting how the subject I chose is creative.
So I could really appreciate if some of you guys could show me some of your most creative stuff that's representative for blockland, that captures the creativity in this game the best it can. I've already managed to get about 5 pictures totoal from builds I made and some in the gallery. You will be credited, but I doubt my teacher really cares, lol.
Thanks in advance c:

1 TheArmyGuy's jail roleplay
1.1 Introduction
Hello good folks.
As some of you may have noticed, I've been posting some pictures of my Jail RP thing in the DOF screenshots thread. Some of you may also have played a beta version over at my server. But I am no here to actually officially create a thread for it and sort of put it on display (brag about it).
So basically I took the concept of a jail roleplay and changed nothing about it. At all. I am terrible at making up fresh ideas. But what I did do is take some common flaws of most jail RPs and fix them, such as:
Expect to see this server up in good running from next week's Wednesday to at least somewhere in February. During this timespan it'll be up for most of Europe between 21h - 3h and that corresponds to about 1pm - 7pm for Americans.
1.2 Gameplay
The gamelay is pretty much standard. The prisoners spawn in their cells (some can be escaped, although cells without an escape route have more spawns to weigh it out) waiting to be let out by the guards, so they can live their life in prison. For instance;
Guards are in a position to shoot any prisoners that they are completely sure of that they're armed and dangerous. For instance, a KEY is NOT a weapon. If you kill someone because he's got a key you will be banned. They're used to open DOORS, not as a weapon of mass destruction.
1.3 The jail
The jail itself is also very important, obviously. First I'll throw in some pictures of the actual jail as-is, and then an edited image that functions as a map.
The comfy interior of a cold, concrete cell. Top bunk has already been called by Timezbrick, in the apha stage. All 8 top bunks are his.
Side 1 of the control tower, watching over the yard, with the door controls ready to use.
Side 2 of that tower, with a clean view on cell block A1
The guards' small spawn, along with some weapons. Don't worry - you spawn with them, no fighting over it.
Bird's-eye view over block D1 of the yard.
Bird's-eye view over block D2 of the yard.
A corner of the woodshop.
The car workshop, where prisoners fix up jeeps in exchange for nothing.
The camera control room. It doesn't cover most of the small rooms, though.
Bathing facility. Plenty of urinals with fresh breathmints in them!
Chum food on a plate. Also, the kitchen.
Room where the... Eh... Less fortunate go after hurting an officer.
Cell block A1.
The rustique interior of the library.
Small medical room in case of officer or prisoner illness.
Sports hall.
Low angle DOF view of the map.

1.4 Other important stuff

1.5 Server
The actual server won't be up until around the 19th of this month, due to my finals and some stuff still to add (tell me what else this jail needs!)
We are currently not (and will never be) looking for administrators, that has already been taken care of.

Tally -> Inactive
Server status:
Preemptive blacklist:
These cunts aren't ever allowed on the server for specified reasons:
You may rate this build x/10, but be aware the exterior wasn't made to be an architectural wonder, just a functional building with a low-as-possible brickcount. The brickcount is currently around 40K, and will never be any larger than 50K in future updates. So far, no lag has been found by a large audience.
Also ideas on what to add to this jail are much appreciated.
Also for forgets sake I will not ever add the rape mod ever.

- 24/7 moderation by me (it's not up 24/7), the most trustworthy admin the server can physically have
- A big attempt at not making the build stuff (think background scenery etc.)
Expect to see this server up in good running from next week's Wednesday to at least somewhere in February. During this timespan it'll be up for most of Europe between 21h - 3h and that corresponds to about 1pm - 7pm for Americans.

The gamelay is pretty much standard. The prisoners spawn in their cells (some can be escaped, although cells without an escape route have more spawns to weigh it out) waiting to be let out by the guards, so they can live their life in prison. For instance;
- Shower, soap dispensed from floor-mounted dispensers
- Eat a nice bucket of chum
- Exercise in the yard
- Play a game of soccer
- Play a game of basketball
Guards are in a position to shoot any prisoners that they are completely sure of that they're armed and dangerous. For instance, a KEY is NOT a weapon. If you kill someone because he's got a key you will be banned. They're used to open DOORS, not as a weapon of mass destruction.

1.4 Other important stuff
Some additional information that might be handy to know before joining:
- Tips and rules run on a relay loop on the server, but be warned: freekilling will always result in a 30-minute ban, serial freekilling in a permanent ban (murdering 3+ prisoners in a row with no good reason)
- The background building are contentless and empty. Nothing secret is in there. I am serious.
- Rounds last 10 minutes. If you have died, and are waiting, just cam about looking at the scenery.
- Server will be up from 21:00 -> 03:00 GMT or about 01:00PM -> 07:00PM American time
- The jail is multi-storey, the stair is just not very obvious as floor 2 has no vital functions
- Passing a yellow-black dotted line is grounds for immediate execution, prisoners! Be warned.
- Do not ask for admin. I don't care f you knew me, I have ever known you or even if I'm a friend of yours. Admin will be given to trusted players if it is needed, which it is not at the time. Do not even try to use one of those stuffsack admin application forms because I will just permaban you.
- In block A1 (the hallway) there's a small access route to my 'office' (I hardly use it) where you can bring all of your tips, tricks and ideas (or complaints) to me without them being lost in the chat.

Suggestions & Requests / Minigame option - Event damage
« on: December 11, 2012, 10:39:36 AM »
A small toggle in the mini-game setup next to the Vehicle Damage, Self Damage etc. that disables getting damaged/killed by events much like the D-wand does.

Gallery / Working Rail-Road crossing
« on: December 09, 2012, 08:00:22 AM »
With the new 'deadly train' add-on out, I decided to make a small, operative railroad crossing.
It's based off of a standard Dutch mini-AHOB. One 'passing sequence' is 11 seconds, including everything.
Nothing too fancy, just:
Required add-ons:

Set the max schedule limit to ~50 to be sure it works.

Help / many many prints enabled with no way to turn them off
« on: December 03, 2012, 11:51:21 AM »
I have about 4 print packs enabled, yet ingame over 100 prints appear from packs I didn't enable. I do not even have some of the add-ons and they seem to be content-only. I cannot turn them off, and if I try to delete the folders from my add-ons folder it gives me an error (it's in Dutch and my meager translation wouldn't do much good, but it's something along the lines of 'couldn't delete file: can't read from source or source-disc (I try this without blockland open)).
Help please, everyone needs to wait hours for all of this to download.

Suggestions & Requests / A prop-like map item
« on: November 24, 2012, 09:44:16 AM »
Basically an item with a map icon and a small map model, that triggers an event 'OnMapOpen' much like how the remote add-on does it, when clicked while equipped. This would allow the player to link that event to showing a map via camera events (so the map is physically built out of bricks).
All in all just a fancy remodel of the remote item. To stay in style a simple 2x2f print model/icon would be nice.
Thanks in advance.

General Discussion / Puzzle challenge items?
« on: November 19, 2012, 11:54:27 AM »
I'm making a pretty intricate jail escape, and I've drawn much inspiration from half life for the little 'puzzles' you complete to advance, but my own imagination is all out. Does anyone happen to have any great puzzle ideas I could somehow incorporate into a ~1980's jail escape?
So far I have:
-Searching a semi-hidden door+tools
-A small jump-ish test which requires some thinking
-Searching a valve (clues about a cluttered room) to close off a steam pipe
-A lot of electrical stuff surrounding an elevator
-An office where you have to manage to turn on the airconditioning to make your way up a duct
-HL-ish train track
-Many small stuffs that nobody would probably ever come up with on a dime (no need to list em all)
A playthrough is (right now) about 30 minutes. it uses those adventure tools by Lilboarder. 15.5K bricks.

Help / A fix for ZAPT spawns lot working after a load
« on: October 14, 2012, 09:49:16 AM »
I've been looking for this for over an hour now.
I've found peejster's (http://forum.blockland.us/index.php?topic=205712.0) but that breaks all doors using 'human' and 'zombie' as restirction. In the thread they say Iban made an oficial fix, but i can't find it for the life of me. If anyone happened to have it I'd love to know. Thanks.

Off Topic / Norton isn't working
« on: October 12, 2012, 01:42:05 PM »
Help guys my super awesome virus scanner norton died on me on this and the previous boot and it's just not starting. It doesn't do anything when I double-click the icon, it shows up in that little items bar on the right but I can't right or left click it. Reboot doesn't work.
Please don't give me any of that 'norton sucks' crap because I'm not allowed to change it.
Thanks in advance :|

Basically, an environment file that's just the time funnel from Doctor Who (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inBxTQwJ4dQ&feature=related#t=5m21s). Obviously it wouldn't be animated though. Would be great if this is possible.

Off Topic / So apparantly my elementary school love has a kid that's 2.5 years old
« on: August 20, 2012, 04:22:01 PM »
Today my sister showed me a girl on facebook. Showed me some pictures, and she looked vaguely familiar. After looking deeper into the information and comparing it with some data on a phone list we got in class (it was from 2003) it turned out first name, family name and birth date matched. Woo. Turned out that was my highschool love. Now on this page it said she had a child. I thought it was some bullstuff because she's the same age as me (to save you some profile lookup time, 15 years old). So we look at some pictures and it actually turned out not to be bullstuff. And you know what's worse? The baby is already walking on the pictures. So I'd estimate that baby is 2.5 years old. Which would mean she gave birth when she was 12. Holy forget stuff cunt tits bitch why the hell. It feels like her fate was drastically changed when she went to a different school than me in 2004. Also she's one of those facebook whores with 1500 friends she hardly knows that makes statuses like 'like for 1000 friend request'. It really feels I could have done something but I didn't and now I feel sad. Also I find it really odd I didn't notice before. I mean, 2.5 years at least. Dayum. Also she's engaged and getting married. At 15. In a developed country. What.
Tl;dr my highschool love of 15 years of age has a 2.5 year old baby

Help / GameModes with more than 50 JVS bricks
« on: August 19, 2012, 11:45:34 AM »
So there's a problem with the server preferences not working, so I had to edit the JVS content script to allow more than 50 default jvs bricks. Problem: I am making a gamemode with a save with well over 50 jvs bricks. How can I make it that the players will be able to load more than 50 content bricks? They obviously haven't all changed the script and they can't change it via the missing rtb pref.

Suggestions & Requests / Death on entering shadows
« on: August 13, 2012, 08:27:34 PM »
I heard some people crashed only when they entered a shadow, so it should be possible to detect if someone is in one.
The idea is that you die when you enter a shadow, as a sort of gamemode. Imagine a day/night cycle with a tall wall that casts a large shadow over the map at nightfall to add a sort of eerie time limit to an area.

Off Topic / Watching Doctor Who episodes online?
« on: August 09, 2012, 07:12:43 PM »
No, this is not a piracy thread.
South Park is aired on TV and you can watch it online for free, so I was kind of hoping the same would apply to Doctor Who.
I feel culturally left out not having watched the show and it only airs once a week on BBC (which is not a lot if you compare it to the amount of episodes). Also I have no idea about any series- or movie-watching websites because I never really want to see anything, so I never really get to them.
